get a new engine be best mate honestly that engines had problems since callum first bought it be so much easier! bargain for £550!!! sin block other night and he said hed sold it for that,id hav got brother to buy it lol just change engine and its a minter and a bargain! 
what poblems did it have?? i some ones just not some soma ryt (soma easy) wel will see..hhhmmm new engine thinking that my self tbh your come it help me fit it then? lol, fills front bumper going on it,gsi side skirts gona look wel sexyer then yours lee   lmao
lol yeah, well the earyh lead from the battery in the boot used to always come off but thats sorted now,but the main thing is its over heated like 10 times callum used to just drain all coolant out flush all hoses and put fresh in everytime it happend,it did it once with or twice with blok to but hes now changed the headgasket but since he did that its shit at starting and has now died,so id check timing on it cause it didnt seem to sound right when turning it over, and check for earths cause the battery light was on consantly after they did the headgasket,like i say id be tempted to put a diff engine in lol,good things while callum had it,it got resprayed around 2 year ago now,has had a new clutch kit fitted,new rear brake kit handbrake cables,and front discs anbd pads blcok heads changed clocks and sorted exhaust out,but you want to gte a pwerflow made for it or something,its got a 1.4 exhaust on so slows it down compared to ryans big time!,also speedo doesnt work and air bag lights on all the time if i remember,oh it had new wheel bearings at the front aswell it had coilovers on front but block put standard shocks on due to one breaking or leaking i think.thats some knowledge bout the car for you lol
cheers mate!  gona come help me sort it?? lol gona rip head off new headgasket,check timeing,wireing ect if it dnt start up afta that new engine time worth new engine for £550 i think tho?

hey all anouther update got the car back from the bodyshop on wednesday the 10th ,the big dint has all been fixed and nearly all that side has been sprayed! its perfect looks like new with the nice fresh paint and he machined polished the whole car ,its gleaming im really happy with it! ,when the bumpstrips were removed it left marks on the paint on the drivers side very faint but he tryed getting them out and couldnt, but quoted me £100 to spray and blend in the other side so thats book in for 29th of march to get done, so both sides will have fresh paint its going to look awesome, i cant wait and all the bumper tops arches e.t.c are getting colour coded in the next month or so so should look real good very soon!, also got a new mod to fit when i get it next weekend will post pics when fitted hope you like comments welcome
